Useradd has grown most of that functionality in the last two decades.That leaves no space for adduser between useradd and sysusers. At least not enouch space to waste any more life time on it.
I think I do not fully understand what you mean: are you saying that adduser is useless outside of maintainer scripts?
I always use adduser interactively when I need to interact with users or groups on my system, and I find it very nice. I also very much prefer using sysusers files to create system users for my packages. I never touch useradd.
In my opinion adduser has great value outside of maintainer scripts! But I'm sure you know better than me, so I'm ready to change my mind.
Bye :)
